'''Paras''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パラス ''' ''Paras'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]]. | |||
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Parasect}} starting at [[level]] 24. | |||
= | ==Biology== | ||
[[File:Paras Mushroom.png|thumb|left|250px|Paras removing its {{wp|Ophiocordyceps sinensis|tochukaso}}]] | |||
Paras is an orange, {{wp|insect|insectoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles the nymph stage of a {{wp|cicada}}. Its ovoid body is segmented, and it has three pairs of legs. The foremost pair of legs is the largest and has sharp claws at the tips. There are five specks on its forehead and three teeth on either side of its mouth. It has circular eyes with large pseudopupils. | |||
Red-and-yellow mushrooms known as [[tochukaso]] grow on this Pokémon's back. The mushrooms can be removed at any time and grow from spores that are doused on this Pokémon's back at birth by the mushroom on its mother's back. Tochukaso are parasitic in nature, drawing their nutrients from the host Paras's body in order to grow and exerting some command over the Pokémon's actions. For example, Paras drains nutrients from tree roots due to commands from the mushrooms. The mushrooms are also popular among collectors and have medicinal uses, usually involving extended life. Prior to [[Generation III]], {{m|Spore}} was its [[signature move]]. | |||
Paras | Paras can often be found in [[cave]]s; however, it can also thrive in damp {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}. In the [[Alola]] [[region]], the mushrooms on its back do not grow well. This is thought to be from a lack of moisture or nutrients. | ||
= | ===Evolution=== | ||
Paras evolves into {{p|Parasect}}. | |||

==In the TCG== | |||
{{main|Paras (TCG)}} | |||
==Trivia== | |||
* Early English promotional material for [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue]] listed Paras's name as ''Parasyte''. | |||
* In [[Generation I]], {{type|Poison}} attacks were super effective against {{type|Bug}} Pokémon, making Paras and {{p|Parasect}} the only Pokémon to have ever had three 4× weaknesses. | |||
* No other Pokémon has the same [[Egg Group]] combination as Paras and its evolution. | |||
** Paras and its evolution are also the only {{type|Bug}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Grass}}. | |||
* Paras and Parasect share their species name with {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Breloom}}, {{p|Foongus}}, and {{p|Amoonguss}}. They are all known as the Mushroom Pokémon. | |||
** All six Pokémon also share a common [[move]], {{m|Spore}}; and [[Ability]], {{a|Effect Spore}}. | |||
** In [[Pokémon GO]], they all give more [[Stardust (GO)|Stardust]] than most other Pokémon upon capture. | |||
* Paras can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Morelull}}. Both share the {{t|Grass}} type, the same base stat total of 285, evolve at Level 24, both are mushroom-based Pokémon and thus can learn {{m|Spore}}, and both can be found in the wild in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], taking the place of the other depending on the [[time]], with Paras being found during the day and Morelull at night. | |||
===Origin=== | |||
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Paras and Parasect}} | |||
The fungus on Paras is identified as [[tochukaso]], an {{wp|Parasitoid|endoparasitoid}} that replaces the host tissue and can affect the behavior of its {{wp|insect}} host. The base insect appears to be a {{wp|cicada}} {{wp|nymph (biology)|nymph}}. In concept, it could be inspired by ants that are infected with mushroom spores that take control of the host ant's brain and sprout from its head or back. It may also draw inspiration from ''{{wp|Massospora}}'', a genus of fungi which include species that specifically infect cicadas. | |||
====Name origin==== | |||
Paras may be derived from ''{{wp|Parasitism|parasite}}'', referring to the parasitic {{wp|mushroom}} growing on its back. | |||

Paras (Japanese: パラス Paras) is a dual-type Bug/Grass Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves into Parasect starting at level 24.
Biology
Paras is an orange, insectoid Pokémon that resembles the nymph stage of a cicada. Its ovoid body is segmented, and it has three pairs of legs. The foremost pair of legs is the largest and has sharp claws at the tips. There are five specks on its forehead and three teeth on either side of its mouth. It has circular eyes with large pseudopupils.
Red-and-yellow mushrooms known as tochukaso grow on this Pokémon's back. The mushrooms can be removed at any time and grow from spores that are doused on this Pokémon's back at birth by the mushroom on its mother's back. Tochukaso are parasitic in nature, drawing their nutrients from the host Paras's body in order to grow and exerting some command over the Pokémon's actions. For example, Paras drains nutrients from tree roots due to commands from the mushrooms. The mushrooms are also popular among collectors and have medicinal uses, usually involving extended life. Prior to Generation III, Spore was its signature move.
Paras can often be found in caves; however, it can also thrive in damp forests. In the Alola region, the mushrooms on its back do not grow well. This is thought to be from a lack of moisture or nutrients.
Evolution
Paras evolves into Parasect.

Trivia
- Early English promotional material for Pokémon Red and Blue listed Paras's name as Parasyte.
- In Generation I, Poison-type attacks were super effective against Bug-type Pokémon, making Paras and Parasect the only Pokémon to have ever had three 4× weaknesses.
- No other Pokémon has the same Egg Group combination as Paras and its evolution.
- Paras and its evolution are also the only Bug-type Pokémon in the Grass Egg Group.
- Paras and Parasect share their species name with Shroomish, Breloom, Foongus, and Amoonguss. They are all known as the Mushroom Pokémon.
- All six Pokémon also share a common move, Spore; and Ability, Effect Spore.
- In Pokémon GO, they all give more Stardust than most other Pokémon upon capture.
- Paras can be seen as a counterpart to Morelull. Both share the Grass type, the same base stat total of 285, evolve at Level 24, both are mushroom-based Pokémon and thus can learn Spore, and both can be found in the wild in Pokémon Sun and Moon, taking the place of the other depending on the time, with Paras being found during the day and Morelull at night.
Origin
The fungus on Paras is identified as tochukaso, an endoparasitoid that replaces the host tissue and can affect the behavior of its insect host. The base insect appears to be a cicada nymph. In concept, it could be inspired by ants that are infected with mushroom spores that take control of the host ant's brain and sprout from its head or back. It may also draw inspiration from Massospora, a genus of fungi which include species that specifically infect cicadas.
Name origin
Paras may be derived from parasite, referring to the parasitic mushroom growing on its back.
